01 · Overview
What the work is designed to change.
Eastern Light helps teams make sense of the crowded AI tools market without treating every new product as a strategy. We look at what the tool actually does, what data it needs, what workflow it changes, where human review belongs, and whether the result is worth adopting now. This can include AI writing systems, research assistants, image and video tools, coding assistants, meeting intelligence, support automation, chatbots, agent platforms, and internal knowledge tools.
